The Khelafat Majlis politcal party plans to hold a rally at the Suhrawardy Udyan area of Dhaka on Dec. 28 as their 12th general assembly meeting.

Authorities will likely impose enhanced security measures around the Suhrawardy Udyan area and monitor the rally. Police will likely disperse any disruptive crowds.
